"I am a uterine cancer survivor. My aunt died of uterine cancer." (fallinggirl)

MDJunction to me

jpcrps"When I found MD Junction, I was in the beginning stages of RSD/CRPS. I was scared, lacked knowledge about the condition, and felt very alone.

MD Junction changed all of that for me. I found friendship and terrific information from people who had first-hand knowledge of this syndrome. It was and still is a big part of my life.

MDJ was my first step on the journey of grief; from denial to acceptance. I am now inspired to help others by sharing this amazing site and sharing my own experiences. I am very impressed that one forum site can provide hope and inspiration to people suffering from so many different conditions. I am proud to be a part of this community.

my husband had a stroke in 1-2009 but was told it was stress and anxity no MRI. he has not worked since then and has got the numb left side/ wierd gait, and vascular dementia. I filed for his disability in Jan 2012. He went to his pcp for he was hoping for a rx for mri, but she discovered his blood sugar was over 700 and told him he has had a stroke and go to hospital, where he ended up staying 9 days. they did ct, mri and confirmed the old stroke, and multiple newer little strokes. this was in march. I have been going crazy collecting info, writing letters, taking him to many appointments ect. we went to the medical eval ssi ordered, should have been an hour but took 3 hours. I spoke to his adjudicator and she said the dr are already evaluating and THEN she caught me off guard and said the dr's complimented the letter I wrote, and she thanked me for getting all the forms, dr notes ect fax'd to her, and said its pretty clear the severity of his condition. I dont want to get my hopes up but I CANT IMAGINE WHY THE ADJUDICATOR WOULD EVEN MENTION ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I was expecting her to be cold and quick off the call. what do you guys think?

You should be getting a decision anytime, it usually takes about 4 months on initial application.
